about

Another interpretation of "La Gioia Di Essere incompresi" (The Delight Of Being Misunderstood), the story that Monica wrote between 1997 and 1999 for the psychology journal "Tecniche Conversazionali" (Milano). This is a conclusive Radio Drama project that started its peregrination in 1999 and reached its pinnacle in June 2015 with the performance at "Quadrennial of Sound Design and Space" in Prague. Bernard Clarke adapted and narrated the original text by magnifying the neurotic character of the story.

“In the consuming flow of time, from childhood to manhood, iconoclasm worms its way out of a man crushed by shame and guilt.
Images observe him, they reveal his dark secrets.
By purging all those accusing smiles he secures a momentary relief.
As his resentment grows stronger, he retaliates against the most famous smile but he fails and by realising that people can’t comprehend his mind and never will, he learns that “misunderstanding” is freedom to treasure personal secrets”.

Text by Monica Miuccio adapted and interpreted by Bernard Clarke.

You are listening here to an excerpt. Full track is in the 70-min album "The Delight of Being Misunderstood and other Stories" that is available as physical CD release. The album contains also two other Radio Dramas: "The Witches of Montenerodomo" and "Sleep it Off".
